    Conditional Offer
    Hi all!

    I received via e-mail last week a conditional offer for the MSc China in Comparative Perspective program. I already accepted the offer via LSE For You.

    I understand that it is only official and authoritative if there is a written letter from the Graduate Admissions office.

    My question is: Is there any chance that I will not get any letter at all? (hope not) I ask this because I have to know if I should already start preparing for the IELTS.

    I really really want to study at the LSE you guys.

    Thanks so much for the help! :P

    I don't think you actually receive an offer letter. iirc offer letters are handled electronically via UCAS. I didn't receive a letter anyhow.

    Edit: Know nothing about offers for graduate students, disregard what I said before.

    It took quite a long time before I received an official letter at my address, like a month or maybe longer.

    EDIT: the letter was for my conditional offer, so you eventually need to get one at some point.

    Thanks guys!

    I gotta ask though: between the e-mail and the receipt of the letter, what are the chances that there will be changes in my offer of admission. Thanks so much!
